Good for Mark. No thanks for the advertising of Red Bull though. Sure I'd have one it'd have to be free(pay me to wear it perhaps), be able to remove the graphic or be pretty damn cheap. Enough of this trade team rubbish where posers play dress up. Give me plain colours or club colours and day. Stop the nonsense where people pay extra to advertise for free.

I don't think anyone's being forced to pay extra to advertise?

Has it got a spoiler on the top ????

NO! It's a double-diffuser!!!

Red Bull weren't one of the initial teams to have a double diffuser ;)

that's because they have put all efort on Mark cycling helmet's double diffuser:

It gives him extra downforce.;)

gives you wings

Looks cool, and as we know looks are everything ;-)

If people can afford to buy replica kit then there is no problem, they're not posers at all! If that were the case people would have to wear clothes from Primark (or wherever) with no emblems or names on at all - haha!

Helmet looks okay, wouldn't like to say how many they could sell if it were available to the public.....

I have bought team or replica clothing in past. Those clthings were on sale and from racers on e-bay. Significantly cheaper than similar plain clothing from santini, or endura or whatever. . That has nothing to do with posing (at least not to me). Would love to by plain clothing, but don't want to pay that much.

Perhaps all that extra downforce will stop him falling off next time. Sorry Mark ;)

If you can pick up one of these cheaper, yea fair enough. That was part of the point. Paying full RRP to advertise for someone else is advertising. If you have club colours, multi colours, clothes from say some race where you got a jersey saying you were in that race then fantastic. If you have to have one of these " 'cause it looks cool" and are not on Red Bull's pay roll whether you like it or not you are a poser. If you don't mind that label then live with it.

Wearing team kit is not posing, no matter how you look at it. Some wear the kit to support the team, others because they like the look of it - I cannot think of one person who wears team kit who actually pretends they are a member of the official team.

As a side point, plain colours are mostly boring and look naff.

I am happy to wear a shirt from the TdF as I have been to watch it, I am making no pretence that I am King of the Mountains or have completed the Tour in the quickest time.

Next you'll be saying that only Ferrari owners can wear Ferrari caps and the grand prix, oh dear.....

I guess some people are always going to whine and be jealous of others. If you don't mind living with that label then live with it.
